A cloud moves away among the silence of scarves dreaming of its triumph abstracted, distracted, above silver poplars and crystalline water. Life awakened diaphanous and wanderer, the golden promise ending with the dream of the distant sun, a waning moon, Codex of the night, as the empty street glows for the time is gone…

In the middle ages, when a fugitive entered a church and screamed “in Asylum” he was immediately given protection and immunity by the priest. The authorities had no jurisdiction within the church.

Amongst Wind and winds
there is a weightless instant
out of time without times
on an extinct fast cloud
broken down into reflections
before a diaphanous flower
living aloofness
into my crystalline vertigo.

Moment of a moment,
a disciple of time
in an endless void,
shape and formality
of the everyday rupture
I am the brevity of a sigh
as the sun turns off
when I close my eyes…
Entre viento y vientos
hay un instante sin peso
fuera de tiempo sin tiempos
en una nube rápida extinta
desdoblada en reflejos
ante una flor diáfana
viviendo la actitud distante
en mi vértigo cristalino.
